[aur-dev] AUR 3.5.0 released
Hello, I am pleased to announce that AUR 3.5.0 has been released. The official AUR setup [1] has already been updated. This release adds support for architecture-specific sources (resp. provides, conflicts, replaces) and for .SRCINFO, both of which will be included in the next pacman release. Apart from that, the package list and package base list are now official and available at [2, 3]. There have also been a couple of internal changes and bug fixes. For a comprehensive list of changes, please consult the Git log [4]. As usual, bugs should be reported to the AUR bug tracker [5].

Hi, In addition to this, I'll be releasing a new version of mkaurball today which ceases generation of AURINFO and creates SRCINFO instead. If you're using a recent enough pacman-git[0], mkaurball will just forward on makepkg, offering very little of its own logic. Consider this is the beginning of my efforts to deprecate mkaurball. Of of the pacman 4.2.0, mkaurball will be obsolete and will likely be replaced with a script which just yells at you to use makepkg instead. Cheers, dR [0] https://projects.archlinux.org/pacman.git/commit/?id=6029a77ac

I'm confused. Would someone like to clear this up for me? I thought that mkaurball was becoming the favoured method of making source packages for the AUR? Wasn't it fairly recent that we switched from `makepkg --source` to `mkaurball`? -- David Phillips GPG Key 0x7BF3D17D0884BF5B Fingerprint 2426 235A 7831 AA2F 56AF 4BC0 7BF3 D17D 0884 BF5B

Will that include an option to anonymize the local user data in the generated archive? I currently have my own wrapper named "mkanonaurball" to replace the user with "nobody" etc. Sorry if I've missed a relevant discussion about this. If so, please point me to the thread. Regards, Xyne

What "local user data" are you referring to? What needs anonymizing?

Don't worry too much about that, source tarballs will soon be replaced with Git repositories...
